The object of the ‘f LANGUIN COAL and IRON COM PANY" is to manufacture Pig and Bar Iron with Coke, instead of the method at present pursued 'in France, of making it with charcoal. It is well known that iron made with charcoal, besides being un !uited for general purposes, cannot be manufactured except at a considerable cost—hence the high protecting duties imposed on Foreign Iron entering France. These duties, and the fast increas ing consumption of Iron made by means of Coal in that coun try, in Railroads, Steim-engines, Gas and W a t er Pi pes, are th e best guarantees f the present prices for Iron being maintained. There is no probability of even a partial reduction of the duties ; each attempt to effect it has failed, as a very great amount of French capital ig embarked in the manufacture of Charooal Iron, and in which a large nlajority of the French Chamber of Deputies are more or less interested. ' This Company has purchased the Languin Freehold Estate and Colliery for the very moderate sum of 24,0001., consisting of 135 English acres, Buildings, Machinery, Plant, &c., and the Royalty concession of fourteen square miles, or 8,960 acres, which offers ad vantages lardy to ba met with in France. The Colliery has been worked for a number of years, and is now in extensive operation, and the Coal is at present raised at. ss. per ton. The fullest investigation, by practical men, has satisfied the Directors of the extent of the Coal-field, and experience proves that as a Colliery alone an ample income may be realised. On the Property, and in the immediate neighbourhood, Iron Ore ieso abundant, 'that no limit can be fixed to the supply, and contracts can be made, by w hi c h th e O re can b e ra i se d, an d deli vered at the furnace for Three Shillings per Ton. This will appear to be an immense advantage to the Company, when contrasted with the fact, that frpm 14s. to 28s.,is the cost price to the different Iron Works in this country for the supply of the same material. The Estimates have been gone into with the greatest care, and submitted to the examination of practical Miners and Iron Masters, who have no doubt that Pig Iron may be made at a cost not exceed ing 2/. nd Bar Iron 5/. per Ton ; whilst the selling price of Pig Iron in France, (the duty on which is from 31. 10s. to 6/. ), is 13/. ; and Bar Iron, (the duty being from 101. to 14/. ), is 241.:—The estimate of cost may appear low, compared with the probable sel ling price, and the profit consequently enormous, unless the advan tages which operate in favour of the Company are considered, viz. the high protecting Duties—the very low cost of Mineral—its abundance in the neighbourhood Of suitable coal—and the low price of labour in France—it follows that Iron may be manufactured at considerably less cost than even in tins country ; whilst the selling price is nearly double. Makin. full allowance for unforeleen con tingencies, upon a moderate calculation, a profit of Forty per Cent. may confidently be expected. Application for Shares to be made by let4er (post-paid), addressed to the Secretary, at the temporary Offices of the Company, 69, Cornhill, where the Prospectuses, Estimates, and Reports, may be had. • N ATIONAL COGNAC . . BRANDY DIS TILLERY COMPANY. The Directors beg to call the attention of the Public to the fol lowing Certificates, which they have been induced to procure for the satisfaction of the Shareholders and the Public, and to sanction their own confident recommendation of their BRANDY. Such undoubted and unbiassed opinions, given by the eminent Gentlemen whose Certificates have been obtained, cannot fail to do away with all undue influence which has been, and is still likely to be used, to prej Lidice and detract from the character of the BR ANDY now ready for delivery. The Directors vouch that the Certificates have been given, not from Samples furnished to, but from quantities taken from the Store Vats by the parties themselves,thereby insuring the Public - from any thing like deception, and the article from false character. The price of the BRANDY, of the highest legal strength, either Pale or Brown, will be 18s. per Gallon, for cash on delivery, in quantities of not less than Two Galions.—A liberal Discount to the Trade.

TIIE MONTGOLFIER BALLOON. _~~~- - Yesterdat the Sitffep Tdoldgiettl Gardens were crowded to excess by visitors, at a shilliOg a head, in conseqUenee oC ttid atinottneement that the new Great Montgolfier, or fire balloon, would make its first asCent. The gates were opened at twelve. o'clock, and notwithstanding the threatening state of the weather, the company continued rapidly to in crease ifittil Seten o'clock, about which time the preparations for the ' inflation of the balitiori isefe tThOeitied to take plane. The process was conducted, however, strictly in private, behind d tarpthiling erected for the purpose, and•neither furnace, car, flags, nor " intrepid i•Oliduts," were to be seen The huge and unwieldy mass continued to roll about in the middle of the lake, without betraying any ascensive tendency, until the 'assembled thousands began to exhibit, symptoms of im patience for• the prentised - flight, when a printed placard was exhibited; Stating; • that the halltien " Could not awnd," but that the eruption of friount "iesuvitig svddld take place at dusk in. stead. At this announcement great indignation was manifesteti, and a vigorous and well directed volley of stores from all sides speedily brought the unfortunate balloon, ridtfled with holes, to float prostrate upon the •stirfaee of the stagnant lake. An attempt was made to'drag it on shore In °Mfgjo tent it up; but this failed, as the cord by which the assail_ ants' had hold of it broke in the struggle. The poles which supported it, however,' were soon broken and thrown to the ground, as well as art of the spectators' gallery, and the trees and pailings were in many Maces Oiled up And destroyed. An attack was even meditated and ac. Wally commenced' on the Lige Eirtlular• glass menagerie, of which s. veral panes were broke; but this piece of wantOii tlsttruetion was speedily repressed by the mnrc discreet portion of the assembly. The attendants engaged in the inflation of the balloon narrowly escaped with sound skins and bones at the first onset ; and at a subsequent period we un. derstand that Mr. Cross, the proprietor of the gardens was set upon by the exasp , rated mOb, who were actually dragging him to duck him in his own pond, when. ho was reSeued by Main force by the police. Having at length exhausted their wrath, without doing, we hope, any set ions damage, and having no means of refreshing their sinews of waf for further exploits of the kind (there being no liquors sold in the gar dens), the assembly remained peaceably enough on the spot till the pro mised eruption of .Vesuvius sent them home in tolerably good humour. How far the proprietors were to blame for these outrageous proceedings we cannot pretend to say ; but they should be careful for the future, if they expect any respectable people to attend their entertainments, to avoid affording an occasion for subjecting them to the tender mercies of an infuriated mob. The number of the multitude was variously estimated, by parties expert in such calculations, at from four to twelve thousand ; we should say the former • number, however, was nearer the mark. A strong body orpolice was in attendance, and behaved with great cool ness and good humour under the "-untoward" circumstances of the day. BELGIUM. (From the Handlesblad.) AMSTERDAM, Mar 22.—We have received the following highly im. portant communication from Brussels, dated May 21 :—" As soda as Leopold had received the communication from the English Governinent, which I mentioned in my last, a Cabinet Council was held, the result of which 'vas a diplomatic note from our Cabinet to Louis Philippe telling him that the public opinion in Belgium was so strongly pronounced against the execution of the 24 articles, that if Leopold were compelled to sign them with Holland, ,as the English Cabinet seemed to require, it would be impossible for him to reign any longer, and that he would in that case be obliged to resign the throne. You may depend on the authority of what I tell you. The answer from Paris- is not known, and though it is not probable that France will be deterred by this measure from following the same course as its spies in a matter on which it can shew whether it, seriously desires the peace^ of Europe, there is no doubt that the active French will endeavOur with great dexterity to profit by the circumstance, and to strengthen their infinence hs well in Belgium as at other Courts. They will so frighten the Belgians with the consequences of a possible abdication of Leopold, that this alone will be sufficient to Make them give up the possession of Luxembourg and Limberg, and the hope of not paying the arrears of the debt; and in fhe conference will allege that it has brought the Belgians to principles of equity aeil mode ration. Some affirm that it is by the private advice of France that Leopold has made no use of his influence, either to prevent the address of the Chambers, or at least to take care that all the members over whom the Government had influence should not declare against it, which would certainly not have happened, if it had been thought flt to prevent it. It is therefore possible that Leopold's threat is but a kind of by-play, to give France an opportunity of acting in this affair tlie part which it judges most favourable to its interests, and to the extending of its in fluence in the affairs of Europe."

LAUNCH OF " THE BRITISH QUEEN.—This ,enormous steam_ship, which has been building for, some time for the British and American Steam Navigation Company, and which is in tended for the passage from this country t o N ew Y or k , was yeste i day launched from the dockyard of the builders, Messrs. Curling, Young, and Co., of Limehouse. The company were permitted to view the ,launch and inspect the ship by cards, .which admitted them within the yard, where every accomodation of scalltaldiog, awnings, &c, was erected. , There was a very numerous assembly of visitors, con. sisting of fashionables from the west end of the town and persons connected with th e shipping and commercial interests of the city. The avenues to th e dockyard were crowded with equipages and vehicles of all s orts, and thronged with pedestr i ans and horse men. Upon th e river craft of all kinds were in rAnisition, from steam-b oats tug-boats, and barges, down to skiffs and whcr_ without ries. The - -ritiah Queen, which was Very appropriately lauched on her Majest y ' s birth-day, is one of the most elegant bein ginvidious or fond of delighting in comparison, it cannot l models ever built : be denied that she is superior in her build to either the Great Western or the Sirius. In dimensions she is far superior; she is built as to her beams of English oak, the lower planks are Dantzic fir, and the upper cedar. She is painted entirely black, except the ornamental work arouncj the windows at the stern, and the inouldings supporting the figure hre ‘ a, which are g i lt. The figure at the extremity of the bows represents her Majesty; it is well carved, and the face is a good likeness of the .Royal original. This steam-ship appears less flattened on the sides'than the Great Western. At two o'clock, alt previous arrange ments having been made, the signal to strike away the last shore was given by the tiring of a pistol; the usual ceremony of breaking a bottle of wine on the bows of the vessel immediately followed, and this superb ship slid gradually and majestically, increasing her rapidity as she moved out of the dock into the river, amidst the most enthusiastic and deafening cheer, of the assembled thousands. It was not until she was fairly in the river, and had turned about in such a manner as to present her broad side to the spectators on shore, that her enormous size, and almost gi a n t- like dimensions became striking.' She actually seemed a floating Colossus, and every o th er vesse l appeare d diminutive in her presenca. Her paddles are lint yet on, nor is she fitted up as to her details. She has three toasts, all whi c h were s t e pp e d and perfect ; her foretopmast was ornamented with the America flag; from her naaintopmast and her mizentop the standard of England floated gallantly in the breeze, and a vast variety of flags of all sorts and colours streamed gaily front the various ropes of the rigging. She presented a most beautiful appear . . ance. We noticed in the gallery, among others, the Earl of Munster, Lord Burghers)", Lord Minto, Lord Melgund, Lord G. Lennox, Sir rl • S eymour, Sir C. Adam, Sir W: Parker, Sir „I. R. Reid, Sir F. B. Head, the late Governor of Canada; the American and Dutch Ambass: dots, several Members of Parliament, Admiral Yung, Admiral Sir C.

RUSSELL. - _ Sir C. S HUNTER said that the measure of the Minister appeared to him to be as decided as possible. It was quite evident that it was the intention of Government to have the metropolitan sy s t em introduced. Alenmsn WIIITE-I,t is a very proper*measure to introduce. Sir PETIUI LAURIE said that nothing could be more intelligible than the letter. It was notice of a determination to commit an infraction' upon the privileges of the citizens.—(Hear; hear.) Sir WILLIAM HEYGATE said that Lurd Ahn ftusstll had adopted a Civil way of saying he expected that Sir Matthew NVo , :d intended to oppose his Bill. Sif C. S. HUNTER stated that it was clear that Lord John Russell would pet severe in his plan, and he thought the best course that the citizens could adopt would be to be resigned to the change which would d..cidedly take place.—(" 140, no," and a laugh.) Alderman ScuotEr was surprised and grieved to hear such a speenh from the senior member of the Court. Sir WILLIAM llEvuare. hoped that instead of yielding with humility, andkissing the rod, the attempt to commit an infraction upon their rights and privileges would be strongly resisted.—(Hear, hear.) Alderinan VENABLES regretted that Sir t. S. Hunter had made such observations. He cared not for the magisterial power which the Alder men Tf by giving it. he thought the public likely to be bone_ fitted, he would feel no hesitation about the course which he should put. sue; but no public benefit could possibly arise from the loss of their privileges. Alderman WHITE rejoiced that the father of the Court agreed with him in the opinion entertained of the necessity which existed for the interposition of the Government. Sir C. S. HUNTER—No; no; you and I do not agree. 'Alderman COPELAND said that Lord John Russell had promised to support the Bill if certain alterations were made in it. They were at once adopted, and now his Lordship had the firmness to retract. It was, in fact, impossible to produce a more extraordinary instance of want of firmness.—(Hear.) Alderman THOMAS Woon and • Alderman FA REBROTHER supported the motion, and recommended an energetic resistance, and the motion was carried—the only hand held up against it being that of Alderman White. After someprivate business the Court adjourned. WRECK OF THE BRIG WILLIAM, OFF GRAVESEND -LOSS OF LIFE. , • We are sorry to state that the operations which were commenced on Monday last, for the purpose of blowing up the wreck of the collier brig William, which sank oft . Gra;:.!end some t w elve months ago, have been eel by the loss of a valuable retarded by an unfortunate accident, att..- r. Purdo, Master-at life. Colonel Pasley had given instructions to . of the Adyni. tendant of Chatham Dock.yark, who was, by permission -• „fain ratty, to superintend the naval part of the operation, and to yule, of the .Engineers, who was to superintend the diving and mining part, and he had a personal communication with them on Sunday even. ing, when they proposed a modification of those instructions, by doing the diving part in two tides instead of One, which the Colonel approved. Leaving to those officers the executive part of the duty, which was to be commenced at daylight on Monday morning, to take advantage of low water, he repaired to Gravesend at ten, about an hbur before high-water, on the same day, to give directions for firing one of the large powder cylinders, if ready. On his arrival he found that the diving lighter had been moored in a secure manne? - by Mr. Purdo exactly where he desired it, which, to those who know the force of the tides in that most rapid part of the Thame4, and with a vessel of such bluff form as the diving-bell lighter, will appear no easy task. But an unforeseen difficulty presented itself, arising, probably,' from the wreck being in a more shattered state than last autumn, when Mr. Kemp first attempted to weigh it by , his ingenious apparatus, 'and when • afterwards Mr. Purdo himself attempted to weigh it by means of dock.yard lighters, both of which attempts failed. A little before the time of law water on Monday, Captain Yule sefit down Con. poral Mitchell; of the Royal Sappers and Miners, who, after having examined the bottom and ti:e side of the vessel, came up and reported that he expected eo difficulty. After this he went down a second time to fix an eye-bolt to the ship's side, after which he made the con certed signal, and a rope was sent down to ham to pass throw. h the eye bolt. A t this time, when he had been down three-quarters of an liner, Captain Yule made a signal to him to come up, as the flood-tide had begun to set very strong against the side of the vessel on which he was employed. • This signal not being answered, Captain Yule ordered him to be pulled up by what is called the life line, fixed round his body, which, after raising it five feet, proVed to be entangled, on which they hauled up the ladder , by which he had de scended, but they found that a rope attached to the bottom of it, by which he ought to have held fast, was loose. In the meantime they continued pumping air into his diving helmet hopes of keep ing him alive, wlien Colonel Pasley arrived. A little before the turn of the tide, when it became practic.,ble to work the diving-bell, Colonel Paisley and Captain Yule went down In it, to ascertain whether it wai safe and in peeper working order, as they ascertained that it had not been used for several years, although reported to be in good order by Mr. Bacon, the master millwright of Chatham dOck-yard, whose report, finding to be perfectly correct, they sent down Sergeant Young, accom panied by another Sergeant and a private, to search for the body, who remained about an hour, until the ebb tide came so strolig that Colonel Paisley ordered the diving .bell to be hauled up, in consequence of the opinion given by the master of the diving bell lighter, who had been employed many years with it at Sheer ness, there was a risk of losing their lives also. This took place after high water, between eleven and twelve o'clock in the forenoon, when Colonel Paisley returned to Chathaln, leaving orders with Captain Yule to send down the di v ing . bell again at low water, which he did, and Sergeant Young, ivith the other men who accompanied him before, succeeded in recovering the body between five and six in the afternomi, but found life extinct, though there was a party of men continually putnping air into the diving-helmet, with which the Corposet was pro vided, and which was of a very .good construction. Sergeant - Young ascertained that his life-line and signal-rope had got entangled by a spar, nearly upright, attached to the side of the wreck, and that he was .sus pended four or five feet from the bottom. , There is at present in tne conservatory at Rose Park, in full flower, one of the most splendid Hybrid Rhododendrons in this country. There are nearly 100 flowers on the plant in full blow, of a rich bright purple colour, and uncommonly large. The Nepal Rhododen. dron Arboreum is also in flower at the same place.—Edinburgh Courant. ANCIENT RATES OF POSTAGE.--When the car riage of letteis first became a national concern, in the reign of Charles the Second, the rates of postage were fixed as follows : Miles.

PREPARATION OF TEA IN CIIINA.—III pre paring green teas, scarcely any warmth is applied, but the leaves arc repeatedly turned with the hand, in order that all may be equally ex posed. For the black kinds, the heat used is much greater, and the whole process of drying is conducted in a more rapist manner. Beside this care bestowed upon the leaves in order to determine the colour,,ta rious expedients are adopting for giving them the characters by which they are generally distinguished. The industry of the Chinese is as apparent in the preparation of the tea, as in every thing else which they undertake. For some of the finer kinds, every leaf is rolled up singly by the hand, when partially ('.ried. Others, again, are picked and sorted with equal minuteness, or broken up and sifted wi!li the greatest care, while a few of the last expensive are scented with sweet.smelling flov..ers. —The Fanqui in China.

On Saturday , the 'village was in a state of great excitement in consequence of a large party of men, women, and children, preceded by a band of music, marching in procession to the each:mire, and there placing their cattle in stalls. The litspector, of the V Division of police came on the ground with a party of men untit r hi command, but no riot took place; the people were amusing them selves with country-dances, and returning in the same order as they cause. to their horn% The parish officers, who were present, stated their in tention orindicting the principals in this trespass.

On Saturday evening a man, natrult Charles Tibhy, who had been taken to St. George's Hospital on the 20th of April. having a very severe wound on his right atm, expired in that institti. tion from the effects of the injury he had received. The circurn. stances under which the wound was inflicted are as fol:ow :—lt appeara that the deceased and a man, named Gray, were journeymen bakers in the employ of the same master, in Park street, Grosvenor.square. On the day its question they were in the bakehouse together, when a slis. putearese between them, and Grey snatched a knife from the table, and thrust it through the arm of the other man. He was immediately taken to the hospital, where it was found that the injuries he had received were of such a deserippon as to render the amputation of the wound ,I limb necessary. After this operation had been perforined the wouri,'ed .man gradually sunk, and on 'Wednesday night he.was in such a condi. tion that it was deemed advisable that a magistrate should take his d '- ' position, and 'accordmgly Sir Frederick !ioe, upon being applied to 1)) the officer who had the case in hand, immediately attended at the 1, i pital, and took the man's deposition. He continued to Languish from this period until five o'clock on Saturday afternoon, when he expired. Gray is in custody. Mr. FAZ AKERLY, In answer to a question from an Hon.

Baronet the Mem ber for Warwickshire, whether he intended to move for leave to bring in h Bill, or to take any other measures in consequence of the resole. tion adopted by the House on 'Tuesday night? Sir E. WILMOT said his answer to the Noble Lord would, in a great measure depend on his reply to a question which lie (Sir E. Wilmot) would put to him. The Commons of England had come to a resolutioa fur the immediate and entire abolition of Negro apprenticeship. It was a great national question—one of the greatest that had for years come before that House-Lhe would, therefore, ask the Noble Lord, whether it was his intention to do' anything to carry that resolution into erect, or to annul or rescind it ? Lord JOHN RUSSELL said—Mranswer to . the Hon. Baronet is; that considering that the motion of the 'Hon. Baronet the Member tae Yorkshire, * to the same . effect, 'was decided in a very full House against that proposition, it is my opinion that it is net tecessary for the ' Government,to take any steps to annul or rescind the resolution adopted 'the other evening. Lstated already on, a late, and esti on a former occasion, that when the, Bill was introi.;',oced the Government would give it most strenuous opposition; and theefore it cannot be expected that they will move for leave to bring in a Bill in pursuance of that reso lution. But this I will say, that if the Hon. 13aront follows up that resolution,' by moving for 12avc to bring in a Bill, lie 6;2411 have the earlicst.day it is in my power to • afford to enable hint to do so. I may sate that Monday newt, should that day suit him, will be at his disposal follow up that resolution. Sir E. WILMOT said that the House was aware that a qrMstion of such magnitude, in the hands of so humble an individual, required ITreat and deliberate consideration ; he, .therefore, begged to ti.ll the Noble Lord that he should not tonight inform him of the course which he should adopt, but on Monday next lie would give him a direct answer. Lord JOHN RUSSELL could only say that he really hoped that the Hon. Baronet would give him a distinct declaration at the earliest pos sible moment.—(Hear, hear.) The lion. Baronet intet be aware that in taking the course he had taken in regard to that question, the deter mination whether that resolution was to be left on the Journals of the House by him, without any purpose, or whether the House would sup port its decision for leave to bring in a Bill, was of the utmost importance to the West Indies, and to the peace and welfare of those apprenticed Negroes. Sir E. 'WILMOT would add, not only to the peace, but to the pre. serration of the West Indies; and nothing should prevent his giving the earliest possible intimation of his intention. The Noblt Lord might depend on this, ihat the principle of that resolution would 'be strictly adhered to in any determination that might be come to. Lord J. RUSSELL wished merely to observe that this resolution was carried on Tuesday after considerable notice—indeed lie might say, that the Honourable Baronet had given notice previous •to the. former discussion—(Sir E. Wilmot, in November last), —and therefore, although he might like to coo stilt those with whom he actelf,, he did hope that by to.morrow (Friday) the Hon. Baronet would be able to state his intention. , Mr. GLADSTONE wished to put another question. He understood that' he intended to follow up that resolution fully, and he entirety concurred in the propriety of doing so. He wished, know from the. lion. Bart.—and it would be for him to give an answer or not—if the Hon. Bart, was aware of the interests invblved in the tltrestion; and as the packet sailed for the West Indies on the 31st instant—(Hear, hear)—he wished lam to.give a promise to bring the question to an issue before that packet carried out the news to thd colonies.—(Hear ) Sir ROBERT PEEL said, as the subject was one of great importance, he trusted there would be a rigid adherence to forms. Sit : E. WILMOT said that the Hon. Gentleman. had mistaken the answer lie had given. What he had said was, that on Monday next he would certainly give the'.Noble Lord an answer to his question, or to morrow if he possibly could. Sir ROBERT PEEL said it was to be regretted that on a matter of such value to a class of her Majesty's subjects, and one which was particularly open to excitement, arising from false expectations, that the Hon. Baronet was not prepared to state the course he intended to adopt. He would put out of question the subordinate consideration of the interest of the West nrovrict..rs, but. he wished to call the attention .of the House to t state of the :•plucniicr ..:nd the pcssibi'it yof their being led into iiVo a violatinu of the ►aw. If the lion. 1:a - onet had stated to-night that be meant to bring forward measurer, there would be an op portunity of full discussion; if he had stated it was his intention to ask for leave to introduce. a J3lll, it might have prevented the iniselikf and the consequences he . anticipated; but supposing he should state that he should be content with having the reso lution on the proceedings of the House, then, unless some 11otie was adopted by which the sense of the lict.se could be expressed, the proWhility would be that such misconception , S might arise as to nen der it ilec.:;;sary for the best interests of humanity at mice to declare ,hat the biLutiou of the House ill Commons was upon the subject. Mr. BAINES said that it was not the intention of the Hon. Baronet to detain the House beyond Monday night—and he had had added; if possible, he would make thedeclaration to-mc trow, After such a de:6/(ra tion as that had been made, upon a subject requiring so much deliberation, it was not necessary that he should be urged further, but tharthe matter 5i0.:14 be left fairly to his thscretion, under the assurance that he would mirsue the course that would be most likely to tend to the welfare of the :Vest India proprettirs idid the slaves themselves. Mr. GI 4 AHSIC NE said that the Hon. Baronet had totally evade& his question. He wished :o kilo,. whether the Hon. Baronet would go , so far as to nssnre him that if he brought forward any measure upon tins subject he would do so before thereat packet sailed, on the 31st of the esent month ? Lord JOHN RUSSELL whited to know when he was' to Under stand the lion. Baronet won d state the course. he intended to ,:dopt it E WILMOT said that be would c,taiely state what course he pursue.either on Monday, or, if possible, to-morrow night, nd 1,.• would undertake, in addition, that any measure he might bring for,va,d should 1.1, llf such a nature as the forms of the House required. Lord J: RUSSELL thought that the Hon. Baronet might he prepared to give him an answer to morrow ; if he did, he was ready to net him on this subject on Monday. If, however, the Hon. Barctiet was not pre_ pat ed to take that course, he should reserve to himself the right cd stat ing to.morrew what course he thought it would become the duly of the ciovernment to adept.—(Cheers.) DANISH CLAIMS. Mr. CRESWELL then rose to Mug the petition on.the above subject under . the consideration of toe atiouse. „Before he . stated the circumstances which had led to the petition, it because Lien to cube some apology for his presumption in undertaking - such a duty. Not long after - he Lad the honour of a seat is, that. House the petition was sent to him, aid he pre;oo!ed ir, as a matter of course. He was then applied to to go further, ~n,l bring the ques tion before the House. fie was disposed to decline such a duty, but it was represented to him that the first signature to the petition was that of the largest firm in the town he had the honour to - represent,. and that many of the other names attached to it- were those of merchants of Hull, a town with which he had long the honour of an official connection. Though he thought the matter would have been better in the hands of a snore experienced Member, still as the petitioners considered that he might be of use to them, he eon. stinted to be the medium of calling the attention of the House to the matter. Having stated these circumstances, he would proceed to. state the' grounds upon which he thought the l'clue ought to grant the prayer of the petition. It was well known to every Member of the House that a negociatien for peace was set on foot by Mr: , Fox in 1806; and that the war was again ;commenced with increased bitterness and hatred -oil the part of Napoleon. Then this country had Prussia and Russia ore their side, but in the • campaign of the same year the pride and glory 'of Russia was humbled, and in the following year the power of Russia was crippled, and she also became anxious for •
